On Wednesday May 15, the Burdekin Community Association (BCA) called for the community to gather together and remember all of those who are no longer with us due to domestic and family violence.
Joined by Burdekin Shire Council officials, Zonta Club Burdekin members, local Police Service and NQ Domestic Violence Resource Service, we paused for a minute’s silence to respectfully remember the lives of women and children lost to gendered based violence.
Following on from the candle lighting ceremony, the community was invited to the opening of our art gallery, filled with artwork representing ‘Through Her Eyes’.
Local women, children and men have responded to our call for submissions of artwork displaying the effects and impact of Domestic and Family Violence.
This artwork will remain on display at the BCA Support Centre at 130 Queen Street, Ayr throughout the month of May.
It is a powerful representation of the impact of Domestic and Family Violence and a must see for every member of our community.
